Compare finishes side by side

Choose two to four finishes. A finish is always approved on a physical sample of your metal, so ask for samples of the ones you like.

How it looks	A fine unidirectional grain.	One tone fading into another across a panel — brass into bronze, gold into gun metal, warm into dark — graded by hand so that the transition has no step.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	A worked surface of controlled dents that breaks reflection into hundreds of small highlights.
Metals	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium	Stainless steel, brass	Brass, copper, bronze

Worth knowing	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.	A gradient that runs across several panels is set out as one drawing and graded as one batch, so that it continues across the joints.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.	The dents hold dust and, outside, water.
Looking after it	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.	Wipe with a soft damp cloth.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.	A soft brush lifts dust from the dents; a damp cloth for marks.
